Victimized Again

It was infuriating to read the following in a report of the trial of Auschwitz SS guard Reinhold Hanning: "He showed no
reaction as
the first witness, Leon Schwarzbaum, a 94-year-old Auschwitz survivor, read
moving testimony about his own experiences, then looked directly at Hanning and
made an emotional plea. 'Mr. Hanning, we
are about the same age and we will both soon be before the highest court,'
Schwarzbaum said, his voice quavering and hands trembling. 'Speak here about
what you and your comrades did!'"

They may be the same age, but Mr. Schwarzbaum is twice the man this sadist is.
